Help with removing Bose stereo

okay so i have an 05 coupe with a bad cd changer.. i got a replacement and i pulled out the old radio and navi but when i was removing the last six gold screws on the bracket that holds the radio i stripped one... i cant get the last one off.. i thought id come here to see if anyone can recommend a way of getting it out.. right now only tools i have are a flat head and phillips screw driver, but i can get a drill if i need it... any ideas?

They have a bit at Home Depot that you put in a drill that will remove stripped screws. It kind of threads the screw to pull it out.

Plus two! Best and easiest way if needle nose pliers won't do.

Awesome for tools, not so awesome for anything electrical. For example, the mini air compressor I bought from there for inflating car tires sucked horribly, but it was the only place I managed to find an inch-pound torque wrench, with a great price too.
